Sleep monitors are a dime a dozen. They’re baked into almost every smartwatch—including the latest Garmin—packed into sleep earbuds, and even squeezed into smart rings. However, if you want a deeper dive into your nightly adventures in LalaLand, you’ll need a dedicated device like the new Garmin Index Sleep Monitor.
Now, a band-style sleep monitor isn’t new—it’s been around for over a decade—but Garmin’s latest entry promises to track your sleep for “a more comprehensive view of overall fitness and recovery.” The band boasts up to 7 nights of battery life with continuous Pulse Ox tracking and monitors everything from sleep stages and HRV status to breathing variations and skin temperature—all without disrupting your slumber.
Based on the data it collects, the device calculates a sleep score and provides valuable health insights. Each morning, your data syncs to the Garmin Connect smartphone app and, if paired with a compatible Garmin smartwatch, can even fill in any data gaps for those who prefer not to sleep with a watch on.
If you’re curious (or just sleep-obsessed), you can learn more—or snag one for yourself—on the product page, where it’s going for US$169.99.
